signInWithBrowser() do not open browser on Android

[DanSytnikov]

Describe the bug?

When the signInWithBrowser() method is called using Android nothing happens, however, it works well on iOS.
I try the following code:

signInWithBrowser({ noSSO: true, login_hint: data.email })
  .then((res) => ...)
  .catch((error) => ...)

Nor "then()" neither "catch()" methods are called in this case. There are no errors or warnings.

According to the docs, I added this line to the android/build.gradle file:

allprojects {
  repositories {
    //some code
    
    mavenCentral()
  }
}

and these properties to the android/app/build.gradle file:

android {
  //some code 
  
  namespace 'com.application.name'
  defaultConfig {
    //some code
    
    applicationId 'com.application.name'
    manifestPlaceholders = [
      appAuthRedirectScheme:  'com.application.name'
    ]
  }
}

Also, I tried setting the "requireHardwareBackedKeyStore" option in createConfig() to "true" and "false" but neither case works.
I tried using devices with Android 11 and Android 14

What is expected to happen?

A browser window should open for okta-login.

What is the actual behavior?

Nothing's happening. No errors, no expected behavior.

SDK Version

51

Any updates here on this?

Hi @DanSytnikov and @Justicea83, appAuthRedirectScheme is not necessarily the application ID. It should be similar to the redirectUri that you're passing into createConfig. For example, if your redirectUri is com.example.redirect:/something, the appAuthRedirectScheme should be com.example.redirect in this case. Let me know if that helps

Solution which works for me :

In Android folder built and build.gradle from app folder :

    defaultConfig {
        ...
        manifestPlaceholders = [
            appAuthRedirectScheme: 'my.redirect.uri'
        ]
    }

    ...

    compileOptions {
        sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_17
        targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_17
    }

    kotlinOptions {
        jvmTarget = '17'
    }

    ...

    dependencies {
        ...
        implementation 'com.okta.android:okta-oidc-android:1.3.4'
        ...
    }

Then in createConfig use requireHardwareBackedKeyStore: false

Important point : Be careful with useEffects, which can also hinder the opening of the Okta page.

UPDATE : Sometimes in Android, redirection does not work and after deleting app data then it works. Maybe it's related to requireHardwareBackedKeyStore but i dont know. In Android Emulator it works always.
